Bundy has joined the company as Business Development Manager for the West Coast region of the United States and western Canada.

After 10 years of service for the company as an Inside Sales Representative, Buck Evans is joining the outside sales team as an Account Manager. In this new role, Evans will use his years of experience to provide technical expertise to customers in the Great Lakes region in the United States.

“Buck has been an integral part of building the inside sales team since it’s inception a decade ago and cultivating a strong ownership culture at Sea-Land,” said Henley. “We look forward to his continued contribution to the company in his new role.”
